Answer:

C. m∠H = 75.4°

Explanation:

all sides of a quadrilateral add up to 360°

So, (5x + 21) + (14 - 11) + (6x + 16) + (8x - 7) = 360

Add like terms:

33x + 19 = 360

33x = 360 - 19

33x = 341

x = 341/33

x = 10.33...

Substitute:

∠H = 8x - 7

∠H = 8(10.3) - 7

∠H = 75.4°

Answer:

C angle H = 75.4

Explanation:

In order to find the measure of angle H we must first find the value of x

Firstly it's good to know that the sum of the angles in a quadrilateral always add up to 360 degrees

Knowing this we can create an equation.

Since the angle measures must add up to 360 degrees we know that angle F + angle E + angle H + angle G = 360

Plugging in the given expressions for each angle we acquire

14x - 11 + 5x + 21 + 6x + 16 + 8x - 7

We can now solve for x

==> combine like terms

33x + 19 = 360

==> subtract 19 from both sides

33x = 341

==> divide both sides by 33

x = 10 1/3

Now that we have identified the value of x and we can plug in x = 10 1/3 into the given expression of angle H and evaluate to get the measure

Angle H = 8x - 7

==> plug in x = 10 1/3

Angle H = 8(10 1/3) - 7

==> multiply 8 and 10 1/3

Angle H = 82.7 - 7

==> subtract 7 from 82.7

Angle H = 75.6

C is the closest answer
